Simply Sauteed Beets

Roasting beets brings out their earthy sweetness, and sauteeing them adds an extra layer of crispy goodness.

Ingredients

1 basket fresh beets, scrubbed

2 tablespoons olive oil or clarified butter

1 teaspoon salt

optional garnish with a dollop of goat cheese

Instructions

Cut the tops and bottoms off of the beets (save for juicing). Place in a steaming apparatus of what you have. Cover and steam until fork tender, about 30 minutes. Remove and allow to cool enough to handle. Using a spoon, carefully remove the skin. Cut into even wedges.

Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add in the oil, the beets, and the salt. Stir/toss occasionally for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, garnish and enjoy immediately.
